For my son's night-shift nurse who changed my life without saying a word. I am paying it forward, and I thank you.

Put one foot in front of the other.....

and soon you'll be walking out the door!!!!!

Alex walked over 50 feet in therapy the other day. He can walk! He just never chooses to walk. He will walk to the chair if you prompt him to. He will walk anywhere if you prompt him to. He never chooses to walk on his own.....But there is no denying....He has got the skills!

Paying it forward

My new normal

I am a mamma bear to 4 boys. I take each day as it comes even when the worst becomes reality. I was forever changed by my son's night shift nurse in 2007, she changed my life without saying a word. I have turned these mountains into victories by going back to school, and becoming a nurse, and will pay it forward until my journey ends with a little crossfit in between.

-Alex was born with Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome.Pulmonary hypertension at birth.Malrotation of the intestines.Uracheal cystPhase 2 kidney reflux (right side)Angulated thumbsmild near sighted in right eyedysphagiaPDA

-At five years old my son Max was diagnosed with type one diabetes. He depends on insulin, and each day is a job to stay alive, he is my hero.
